I got 4 banana plants yesterday from the GA Bamboo Farm. They are large plants that were topped and dug from large mother plants. I don't know whether to plant them straight into the ground or plant in pots for the winter? If I plant in pots, what planting medium should I use? These are all supposed to be cold hardy (Blue Torres, Ice Cream, Sweet Heart and Kumanaba).

Thank you for any planting, growing information.
